I first heard about the Bain de Terre Rise n' Shine White Willow Volumizing Foam through my mom. Her hairdresser had used it to style her hair and my mom liked it so much that she bought a bottle for herself. The results were amazing on her short, thin hair, so I decided to give it a try on my long, thick, wavy hair. I was really impressed... it really added extra body and curl to my hair, plus it smells really nice! :)

I have been looking into using solely natural ingredients on my face, and after doing some research, I came across the benefits of lemon for acne scarring. It's really simple: cut the lemon into disks and then take one and apply it topically all over your face or simply on your problem areas and store the remaining slices in a sealed plastic bag in the fridge for future use. It will visibly reduce any redness, and overtime, will help your skin heal from any scarring caused by breakouts.

The 'Falsies' line by Maybelline is probably one of the most hyped about drugstore mascaras in the beauty world. I decided to try the 'Falsies Flared' myself, but unfortunately it just did not do anything incredible for my lashes.

Just wanted to share with you my hands down favorite Essie polish called 'Fiji.' This beautiful pink pastel is completely opaque after only 2 coats, and looks gorgeous on dark, medium, or pale skin tones. This one should definitely be in your collection if you do not own it already - it is great for everyday wear but also for those special occasions that merit a more sophisticated and classy look. Highly recommended!

I had heard so many great things about Milani products, but sadly they were not being sold in Canada... until recently! :D When I saw the Milani display at my local Walmart, I got so happy and excited! My sister was actually looking at me like I was crazy haha! I decided to try one of the Liquif'eye metallic eye liner pencils, as they have AMAZING reviews on makeupalley.com and are compared to the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On eye pencils. At only $6 CAN, this Milani product is a steal for the quality you get. I honestly cannot believe that this is a drugstore product, the pigmentation is INCREDIBLE, it literally glides on your eyelid when applied (no tugging = a big YAY! in my books) and this stuff does not budge. If you have watery eyes like I do, you know what I mean when I say that my eye makeup gets super runny and all over the place at the end of the day. But the company is not kidding when they describe it as being "all day wear, smudge-proof and waterproof." It is also paraben-free. This stuff is really holy grail worthy!

I got #04 Aqua, but they also had Silver, Gold, Brown, and Black at the store. I am definitely going to get every single one of them! Milani, you have a VERY satisfied customer! haha :)
